Launch of a new generation data center : Marilyn

CELESTE ENIA Architects and sign a joint patent for a new generation data center consumes less energy. The first prototype operated by CELESTE will emerge in Marne-La-Vallée in June 2011.

ISP for businesses, CELESTE has partnered with ENIA Architects to develop its new concept of data center. The combination of the two players has led to a patent and the project of a data center in Champs-sur-Marne, at the center of future cluster Eastern Ile-de-France.

CELESTE and its agency knew created the event with this project, innovative both technically and architecturally. Indeed, the market for data centers proves unsuited to age and ecological constraints in terms of power consumption of air conditioning for cooling computer rooms. In addition, the explosion of accommodation and offers virtualized applications implies a lack of availability including Ile-de-France.

The main innovation of this project is based on the vertical building construction. The data center will operate in total “free-cooling” with the use of outside air to cool server rooms. These built on five levels will benefit from a natural draught and an optimization of the aeraulic yields effect.

The gain in total power consumption is estimated at around 35 %, a saving of about 6 GWh per year compared to a traditional data-center. This saving represents the annual consumption of a classical building offices 150 000 m² and limits the release of CO2 into the atmosphere 540 tonnes.

In addition to energy savings, this vertical arrangement allows an optimized organization of data center needs and limitations of floor. This feature makes thus possible implantation in urban areas. The coup, the unit cost to the kVA of Bay installed in this type of installation is divided in half.

Designed to accommodate the headquarters and data center CELESTE, draft is based on a total surface of 1800 m2. Located on street, within the Cité Descartes Champs-sur-Marne, office building will continue in two computer towers positioned at the rear of the plot in a coherent Figure.

CELESTE an update on the construction of its datacenter Marilyn Seinte-et-Marne and announces that he will be designed to 100% optic fiber, a world first

After laying the foundation stone of its datacenter Marilyn in October 2010, CELESTE gives a positive assessment of the progress and confirm the delivery initially set.

Concretely, the start of production is planned for September 2011. Marilyn is a high density design Tier IV datacenter ecological. Its vertical shape allows air circulation easy. The fresh air will be drawn at the basement, cool machines and will be used to heat offices. Excess air escapes through the roof. This vertical design for a data center is unique in the world.

This is the first time such a project was born, and that has been the subject of a patent. CELESTE today announced another innovation : network cabling datacenter Marilyn 100% optic fiber. Unlike other datacenters, copper cabling was outlawed. This strategic choice is explained by the fact that CELESTE provides offers very high speed : 1G ou 10 Giga for clients, that can be interconnected with fiber optic deals across France. Furthermore, copper has drawbacks related to its weight and footprint caused by its production and reprocessing.

With these differentiating characteristics, Marilyn datacenter is about to receive the certification European Code of Conduct. This certification reference greets engagement data center operators who adopt best practices in energy savings. A few months before the launch of Marilyn, CELESTE is also looking for new employees such as engineers, network technicians, of fiber optic cable manufacturers …

Enjoying international recognition, Marilyn concept will be presented by Nicolas DAWN at various conferences : “Datacentres 2011″, the 5 and 6 more ; as “Datacenter Dynamics, the 7 June”. He is also the subject of a study by Gartner Group. Marketing 600 m2 computer room is underway with customers CELESTE, but also new partners such as service companies or IT outsourcing companies, seduced by the offer coupled Datacenter + 1G fiber which opens up new perspectives.
